Hi I have a curtain wall that has only horizontal mullions. In elevation, the vertical grid lines of my curtain panels show up too. How do I turn these off in elevation? I don't want to get rid of my vertical grids because i need them in plan. This is for a design drawing that does not need to show the panelization of the glass.

Thanks,

-Dave

So what you are seeing are the edges of the curtain panels not the curtain panel grids. Two different object categories.

I think the best solution is to use the cool linework tools with line style 'invisible' to hide one panel edge at a time. There will be more than one edge in each location as well.

You can use this above method in any view for pretty much any model object edge. You can also do the opposite and make the linework heavy or dashed.

 

 You could also hide the panel(s) in the view but then you would see right through the panel like it wasn't there so you would have to adjust your back clipping plane and if th view was shaded it would appear like a missing tooth..

There is no way to do this with visibility/graphics options? I have a lot of curtain wall. This method would take alot of time since my linework would have to be split at each horizontal mullion...

turn off the glass in visibility graphics but you'll see stuff behind it.

As far as I am aware you cannot turn off the panel edges (which is what you are seeing) and leave the panels themselves on using a visibility graphics override. Either the entire panel is off / on or use the linework tools with invisible line style.

Unless someone else a a better approach.

Not if you adjust your back clipping plane as I indicated in my original reply.
